Retrofit rear camera

Partner:
Feiertag?
  • Hi guys,


    I bought my Freemont "ready" equipped. It is an Urban and has the DVD package also. What I miss is the rear camera since the sight backwards is not that good and we have a lot of kids around which makes me a little worried. I have done some investigation on the Dodge Journey forum and it seems two ways to solve this. One is using the Lockpick C8 module which locks up the camera functions + some other functions. See installation video below.

    The price of the Lockpick C8 on ebay is about USD260 which I find reasonable + the cost for the camera which was 30USD

    The other one is a more complex modul ( and pretty costly USD1600 ) which also adds navigation without changing the original 8.4" screen.

    Both alternatives means that you have to route a cable from the rear up to the instrument panel. According to instructions I found that very complex where you have to tear down "half of the car". I have ordered a wireless kit from ebay ( have not recieved it yet ) and hope it will do the job

    I am still waiting for the Lockpick and the wireless so it will be interesting to see if it will work out as intended.


    Do we have some experiences here from a similar installation or other solutions?


    Happy new year :party:

  • One user from the spanish freemont forum got the lockpick allready installed.
    He found out that there is a problem with one pin.
    Just check the Journey forum for informations.

  • Henrik, this might help you: Looks like this is the OEM solution for adding the rear-view camera: Rückfahrkamera nachrüsten - so geht’s

  • Thanks Semmelroc. I have also looked at the NavTV solution which seems attractive, especially with the navigation. However they are rather pricy of the their solutions.

  • Basically you only have two choices: Expensive and very good, or the real cheap way.... :|

    Would you mind posting a link to the forum?


    No idea where it was. I think here http://www.chrysler-forum.com/index.html or in the Dodge Journey Forum.
    It was a spanish guy with a fiat freemont.
    There was a link to a spanish forum to.
